CAPITAL AND LABT)R. . Capital. is trying to control [labor to its own purposes—to work the marrow out of its bones and the clothes oftg back—to'keep it in poverty and subjection, and if labor is not-careful,capital will succeed. Labor p;flduées capital, and ié controlled by the very work of - its hanfls. It digs and delves, works and sweats,and capital appropriates its carnings. (Capital demands of labor not only to pay all its taxs, but to vote as it wants, and if labor refuses, it is discharged from employment to seek new fields for its operations or go to the poor house. Capital is/remorseless, soulless, selfish, grasping—and labor must grapple with it some day, or sink into a worse slavery than that which was ever fastened on the African. | ' Awake, }{xll])oring men of the country, to a true sense of your value and dignity, and hurl the radical aristocrats from power.

1868 ‘ana 1872, We desire to eall the attention of the Grant men to-a few figures that are not : wholly unimportant at this juncture of the political campaign. In 1868, as in this. year, the States of North Carolina, Vermont, Maine and West Virginia held ..elections for State officers. North Carolina then elected the Republican ticket by 18,641 majority ; in 1872 the same State _reports a fraudulent majority of 1,900 for the Grant candidate for Governor, al. thopgh the Democratic-Liberal candidate was doubtless elected Governor by 3,000 majority, as the forthcoming contest will - prove. The same State, which in November, 1868, cut Grant’s majority dowa to 8,000, is sure for Greeley and Brown by a handsome majority. Fats Vermont, in the Gubernatorial election of 1868, gave a Republican majority of 27,326; at the recent election for State officers the Girant party obtained a major ity of 26,652, Maine rolled up 20,404 Republican majority in September of 1868, notwithstanding the fact that the support of the Jobnson administration was given the Democratic ticket. At the recent election the Grant State ticket obtained 17, 000 majority, and that only by publicly ~baying votes at the rate of from $lO to $5O per head. bl ‘West Virginia elected the Grant State ticket in 1868 by 4,717 majority; at the recent election the Republicans did not have a ticket in the field at all; but gens erally voted for an avowed Greeley Democrat for Governor. The new constitution, for which none but Geeeley men ‘voted, was carried by over 8,600 majority, and we have the most. positive assurances that Gresley’s majorit¥:inext November It thus appears Awo of the four States M% rant fqtg ;aler; A ) A C dxree i Pt st Movember, Ve, toe outlook is most promising. o

STATE FINANCES --- TAX - PAYERS, READ, 3 | . Hon. James B. Ryan, Treasurer of State, in a recent speech furnished some valuable facts with regard to State Finances. He proceeded to show that the pledges of retrenchment and reform made by the Democracy bave been fully gedeemed,and that the tax payers of Indiana have been largely bencfited by the change made two-| years ago, Mr. Ryan demonstrated that when the Democratic Legislature met, i the people were paying twenty-five cents . on each one hundred dollars to the State, besides the school tax. For State pur- | poses the sum of fifteen cents on each one ‘ hundred dellars was paid, snd on the Sinking Fund tax ten cents on each one ‘ hundred dollars was paid. The Democratic Legislature, by the advice of the State officers, abolished the Sinking Fund tax altogether and reduced the State tax to five cents on each one hundred dollars. The immediate effect of this measure was that the poaple of Indiana, under Democratic retrenchment, paid for State purposes $1,829,970 less than they paid under Radical extravagance. L The Radicals said the State Government could not be run on a tax less than fifteen cents on each one hundred dollars; the Democrats said it could be run for two fears, considering the surplus in» the Treasury, on five cenis on each one hundred dollars. Experience has shown that the Democrats were right, and the Radicals wrong. How was this done? By retrenchment and reform. |

The Democrats reduced the first year | (and three months of that the Radicals bad the power) nearly $200,000, This year they will reduce the expenses, a 8 compared with the last year the Radicals had power, over $200,000. There are the same duties to be done now as then, the population is much the same, the laws the same, yet the very first year the Democrats were in power, the expenses were cut down nearly Two Hundred Thousand Dollars! How was this done? By etonomy, n word the Radicals in our State have not in their dictionary, and of which they do not know the meaning. ; Nearly $2,000 has been cut down in the expenses of military offices; $16,000 have been cut down in the expenses of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, which is filled to its utmost capacity; $14,000 from the expenses of the Blind Asylum; $9,000 from the Ingane Asylum. The State Prison South cost $35,000 the last year the Radicals had it,over and above its expenses, yet it now pays its way, and is of no expense to the State, notwithstanding convict labor is cheaper now than it was then. The State Prison North is now paying expenses, and leaving a surplus to the State, when under Radical rule it cost the ‘State over $15,000 a year. $lO,OOO was cut from the expenses of the House of Refuge; and in faet, in everything, the expenses of the State have been curtailed. ~ The Law Library of the Supreme Court, under Radical rule cost $6,000 & year, the Democratic_judges reduced the expenses to $3,000, just one-halt. The office expenses of Secretary of the State under Radical rule was $l,OOO. Under Norman: Eddy it cost only $180; the Auditor cost - $2,000, Shoemaker got $180.75 for, the same. The Treasurer got 1,000, Ryan got $138.90. The Attorney-General's office cost $l,OOO, when he hardly ever set his foot in it. Hauna did not receive & cent. The Superintendent of Public Instruction received for office expenses $1,000; Hopkins received $2OO. The Agent of State received $2,678 83. office expenses,when he had no expenses to pay, except for brooms, etc. The office is located in the banking house of Winslow, Lanier & Co., and they give the room free of rent. The State Debt Sinking Fund Department composed of the State Audi: tor, Treasurer, Secretary and Agent of State, used to charge $2OO for each ‘time ‘they met, when the law provides that only their actual expenses should be paid. "All the officers, except the Agent of State, lived at Indianapolis, and the Agent of State lived at Corydon, and it couldn’t have cost him over $25 to go and return from his residence to Indianapolis. The Agent, in addition to his $2OO, charged and received $350, being the expenses of mileage to New York, he holding that he was ‘constructively in that city. The officers of ‘the Statp Debt Sinking Fund Department went twice to New York, at an expense of $350 to each officer, merely to examine the books of the Agent of State when the latter could have been brought to Indianapolis by express at a cost of five or ten dollars. The Democratic officers have not drawn one cent on account of expenses of this Department, ne one being entitled to do so except the Agent of State, and he does not consider his expenses great enough to justify his ch%ging for them. hese are a few of the items showing how the Democratic party has reformed the State Government. But these are enough to show that the party has fulfilled its promises, and that -the people have been the gainers by effecting a change two years ago. Let the tax-payers consider these facts and act accomdingly on the Bth of October. fiee : g 4

< ——————-*f—————— TaE character of the State Governments at the South, which the Grant party in sist shall be maintained, is shown in the exposure by the State officials at the re cent Republican Convention in South Carolina, Every man nominated by the ‘majority of the convention was publicly denounced as a thief and as a robber of of the Treasury. The defence to these charges was, not that the persons accused were inuocent, but that they were less guilty of robbing the State than the men who composed the minority. gk 1t is governments thus constituted that the Grant party uphold, and which they predict will be overthrown if Greeley be elected. - The people of no Northern State would endure such a gang of official plunderers one day, and they will not vote readily to inflict them upon the people of other States. : g -

i .. Little Moreaun. e Correspondence of the Chicago Tribune, The late correspondence with O’Conor has been hapdled by a‘‘mobody. nsm i‘ Moreau. Perbaps the ‘attendant upown’! this Convention with xfi promptest fi pacity as a pimble parliamentarisn was this black-eyed, nervously-alert little man of about 40 years of age. Trash exbaled trom bim like dust. He wore-ablack suit, betwixt the seedy and the orthodox: respectable; got on.his feet frequently.; and even-carried away the house by moving old Jimmy Lyons for the Presidency by a neat speech of the sort mowadays: called “enthused.” He was ‘so conspicuous that somebody proposed three cheers for the noble delegation from Indiana, and the New York shoulder-hitters swung their hats in accord. So deeply moved over the position of his country, and thedescent of the democratic party, wasMoreau, that he criticised O’'Conor’s declhina« tion severely, and said a candidate must be had ‘at any price. Ifixed upon that man as answering my notion of the sort of instrument Morton might have most fel. lowship with; for it is said in Indians that nobody was ever dismissed from: the military service in that State ior“basé‘ causes but Morton made a tool of him.

Now, I find by the record of the Adju- l tant General of Indiana, W. H. H. Terrell, that Will C. Moreau, Captain in the Third Cavalry of Indiana, was dismissed from the service under the official head of “Officers who were dismissed and cash: iered:for the good of the service.” .The entry is as follows: = Will C. Moreag,_Captaiu Third Cavalry, Company I: Dismissed Jan. 1, 1864. Cause not reported. Turning again to the official army register of the United States (volume Indiana and Illinois), we find.these entries successively : s Will C. Moreau: In April, 1861, a Captain-in the Sixth Indiana Infantry; regularly mustered out-April 2, 1862, So Mr. Moreau was not.opposed to figkting our Southern Bourbon brethren ag early-as Aprl, 1861, some time before Horace Greeley remarked: ‘Young man, on to Richmond, and go West!” The next entry is Jan. 25, 1862 : Will C. Moreau: Resigned from the Third Regiment Indiana Cavalry as Captain. Recommissioned Captain July 8, 1863. : A A | Here observe, brethren and sisters, that the Moreau in question got tired of walking after the Bourbon enemy, and took, like the beggar, to horseback to pursue them. The next entry shows that he had met th@ißourbons, and imbibed that profound respect for them which he has subsequently exhibited: . : Will C. Moreau: Dismissed the service Jan. 1, 1864. i There were but 298 dismissed officers in Indiana out.of 15,042. The. Colonel of. his regiment, Crittenden, lives in Washington City. He, General Este, and others, all say that Moreau ’ was dismissed for being a dishonorable character. : gy " During Morton’s dictatorship this man hung around the staff of Morton. His succession from Mortonism to Bourbonism is clear as the pedigree of Judas. During the early part of the war, he attempted to swagger around the celebrated Jim Stedman, who led him’away by the ear. An irresponsible squirt at the best, with tthe rural fe)icity of much gab, he came as ‘naturally from Morton to Louisville as ‘the shower of gold came from Jupiter by the way of Danae. - : ? —————etll] - E——— " The Head of the Bourbons. The Indianapolis Sentinel publishes a complaint filed in the Superior Court of Marion county, at December term, 1871, by Minerva Moreau vs. William C. Moreau, for divorce and alimony. The complaint, after alleging their marriage in 1857, and generally that “he had disregarded and broken each and every obli. gation devolving upon him by said marriage,” specifically states: *He converted. her property, wares and merchandise into’ money, and ‘all into his; possession, and without puying any considerable part of his debts, or even the debt contracted for his and her boarding, ABANDONED HER, taking with- him. a large sum of money, to-wit: eighteen hundred dollars, belonging to her, and leaving her no means of support or ‘property unencumbered, and’ since that time she bas been compelled to rely upon her friends for her daily bread, ‘the said defendant utterly failing, &ec. The second averment alleges “divers and sundry frauds, and false pretenses” on the part of said William C. Moreau ‘in the purchase (upon credit and the false representation that he was ‘the owner of the goods, wares, and merchandise, which were, in reality, his wife's) of candies; groceries, &c., of divers persons in India. napolis. Upon this complaint the divorée was granted with alimony. #io : And yet this “sweet-scented” gentleman, a 8 _he is deftly styled, assumes to charge Hendricks, Kerr, Thurmay, Pendleton, Seymour, Hoffman, Buckslew, and & host of other distinguished, pure-minded men ‘with venality and dishonesty, selling ont. their party, &c.; virtuously assuming guardianship over the neglected and forsaken principles of the Democratic party and its organization, as'be would have us believe.

: State Prospects. The Vincennes Sun says: “That Thos: A. Hendricks will be our next Governor, does not admit of a doubt, viewing ‘the matter in the ¥ght of late ‘reports from different parts of the State in which he has been canyassing. . His meetings: are attended more largely than they ever were, and there is on hands an enthusiasm and a feeling of confidenge that 'pres-ages certain victory. In every town and village in the State can be found Radical Republicans who will support Hendricks on account of his splendid abilities, his unsullied private character, and his preeminent fitnegs for the chief magistracy of the State. That he will receive fourfifth of the Liberal Republican vote there is scarcely a question: and, with the solid support of the Democraey, (that carried the State two/ years agoby 2,500; and in 1868 came within nine hundred. of electing him Governor), it is ‘as cléar as noon ddy that if'we get'a'fair show at the bal-lot-box ‘Hendricks will ‘be"eléctéd by at T laNO TN e . The ball is rolling, and our skies are brightening every day. - Qur Btate and Coogressional candidates are making a determined fight, and all our prominent 'speakers are dctively'at work. , Searcely & stump in the'State will be allowed:to ‘“set cold” between now and'the election, and the people will continue to_grow more earnest and enthusiastic as’the can‘vass nears its close. All we have to fear is that frauds will be practiced by’ the Radicals, and that the men that they have been importing, and are continuing to import, from the border: States will by some sort of raseality contrive to get their votes into the box; despite the efforts of Democrats to 'préventit. 'We cautioned our frienids last week to:beon their guard against these importedcattle, white and black, and we now repeat the warning. All we ask of eur Radical adversaries is that they give us a. f:}fi; fight. 'lf they do that, we have got a sure thing of Indiana by a rousing mejarity.” ...

I take you to witness, that the greater portion of the journals of Pittsburgh, as well as the orators, on this occasion have been trying their ‘best to make us—the people—hate each other for partisan advantage. A stranger would ima’fg'l)ine, who was reading the journals of Pittsburgh for the last few days, that we were still at war, and that their purpose wus to revive and exasperate the hatred and animosity of “civil war in ‘order to intensify and invigorate their side of the conflict. They talk about “rebels and traitors.” Fellow-citizens, are we never to be done with ‘this? We demanded of our adversaries in the great war that they surrender their arms and go to their homes. They surrendered them. Wedemanded that they enfranchige the blacks, and the blacks are now enfranchised. = Nomne but white men

now stand disfranchised on the soil of our country. We demanded that they stipulate that the emancipatcd slaves shall not be paid for, and that the rebel debt shall never be paid by the Government or by the States, and they assented to that. So far as I can see; every demand made on the part of the loyal States and the Toyal people has been complied with by those lately in rebellion. Everything has becn conceded, and still they tell us we want them to repent. ' Have they not brought forth works meet for repentance,and thus .coming together in’ solemn Convention,’ the representatives of the Southern people have given their assent to the platform of the Cincinnati Convention, which was the most intense, mest complete Republican platform that had ever been presented by any National Convention whatever. 'All this being done, we are told by these géntlemen who met here, “All this is moek+ ery. This is fraud. You don’t mean anything by 'it,” and the cry goes on, | “Rebels and traitors,” ‘“Rebels and trait~ ors,” denunciation, and proscription, the same as .ever, Four 'years ago, in the Republican’ National Convantion, it was declared ' that this proscription shonld ‘speedily. cease. . Four years have passed, and still it is. maintained. There are at this day thousands of people of Arkansas alone, the most’ intel: ligent, the most responsible people of the State, forbidden ‘to exercise the right of suffrage—forbidden exclusively by the party that meets here and shouts for Grant and Wilson. Nobody else asks for proscription but they. No other party requires that any human being should stand proscribed on our soll for a rebellion that ceased seven and a half years ago. No party, no men of any party but' this, the very party that held a great military parade this week, in order to further separate and divide ‘the hearts of the American people from each other,. They hold essential to their triumph that Ha‘tred should continue; that distrust, suspicion, and alienation should continue. Do what you will, do what you:may,they are determined not to be satisfied. Now, fellow-eitizens, it is not enough that those who fonght against the Union should be prosecuted. - Those of us who stood for it are equally denounced if we do.not happen to agree with them in our present politics. - Here stands one who is charged by them with being a secessionist. Could that be true, fellow-citizens? ' Look “the facts in the face. When Lincoln Lad been elected,: 'and this comspiracy - for . secession began -to . advénce itselt, .we Republicans = were, ‘told by our own men, and told still more by these ous of the circle, “You must back out of your Republicanism, you must surrender your opposition to the extension of slavery, or consent to a great civil war.” ‘This, they said, was the only alternative. Bloodshed and devastation over the whole country, or you shall surrender principles on which you have just.carried the elec - tion. I was one of those who said, “No, there 'is .no.such alternative.” I denied that the Southern people, the: great: minority.of them, were against the Union. I ‘demanded that there shall be open; free discussion before the Southern people. If, after an honest, unterrified, unconstrained ‘vote, if'they prove that the people of the :Bouth'say they want disuniod, I will congént to it. ‘I know they will/nct.
